A modern phone system that works from anywhere — 3CX cloud phone with desk, mobile, and laptop apps, set up by MKR Systems for Southern California businesses.
3CX replaces your legacy phone system with a software-based PBX that runs on your network. Take calls on desk phones, your mobile, or your laptop — same business number, zero per-user licensing.

How much does a 3CX phone system cost through MKR?
MKR offers a managed 3CX package at about $249/month that includes a fully configured cloud phone system with digital receptionist, mobile app, SMS, and number porting. There is no per-user licensing like legacy PBX systems — 3CX runs as software on your network or MKR's private cloud.
Can 3CX work on my mobile phone and laptop?
Yes. 3CX is a software-based PBX, so your team can take and make calls on desk phones, the 3CX mobile app, or a laptop — all using the same business number. Staff stay reachable whether they're on the floor, in the back, or off-site.
Does 3CX include a digital receptionist for missed calls?
Yes. The 3CX Digital Receptionist answers every call, routes it to available staff, and can send an SMS callback if no one picks up — so a busy lunch rush doesn't turn into lost orders. It runs on your existing internet with no extra hardware required.
